I think it is not "that" different in most of other nations as well, not really that different in my country too. The logic is that if you are making a salary, then you shouldn't be able to live a great life, it just doesn't or will probably never happen. I think it is quite important to just focus on what you could do with it, and learn how you could get out.
There is a reason why there are so many authors from so many different nations that keep on writing books about how you could make more money if you got out of the 9-5 lifestyle. Sure maybe yours is worse than others, but doesn't make other nations a great place to live with a salary neither, believe me because I know millions even tens of millions having debt and barely surviving in my nation as well.
Since we do not compare the two countries here of course I cannot say that your comment is wrong but at least as far as I know, if Turkey and many other countries are to be compared unfortunately it would not be right to say that it is in the same situation with other countries because it is more difficult for the people of Turkey to live due to the economy getting worse day by day. Of course, regardless of the country anyone working with a salary cannot live a very good or high quality life today because salaries have become incredibly low in today's conditions.
It isn't the same situation all around. Everywhere people were affected much out of the inflation and other problems that arise out of inflation. Based on the percentage of impact the changes can be experienced on people's living. In my understanding the impact of inflation and other economic issues have hit the urban population higher than the rural population. Because the urban population is much dependent for food and everything and the salary too comes out of corporate. With rural population they're mostly self reliant and this doesn't have much impact over the living style.
